United Nations Security Council Resolution 440 was adopted on November 27, 1978. After hearing a representative of Cyprus, the Council expressed deep concern at the lack of progress in the peace issue. The resolution reaffirmed the emphasis on Resolutions 365 (1974), 367 (1975), and 410 (1977), calling upon all parties to ensure their implementation and resume negotiations with the United Nations.

The resolution also requested the Secretary-General to monitor the situation and submit a report by May 30, 1979 or earlier, in time for the Security Council to review the situation again in June 1979. This request aimed to facilitate further progress on the Cyprus dispute, which had been ongoing since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

No details of voting were provided except that it was adopted "unanimously" by the United Nations Security Council. The resolution's adoption marked a significant development in efforts to resolve the long-standing conflict between Greece and Turkey over the island nation.
